Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. The two men depicted in the image are a Corregidor [Magistrate] and an Encomendero [Trustee] who appear to be arguing over a large sum of money on the table in front of them. They are dressed in traditional European clothing. The author criticizes these government officials by saying they lack respect for the indigenous peoples of Peru and exploit their labour.
